The City of Saskatoon (City) invites the public to an open house to view and comment on the proposed North Sector Plan, which will include Saskatoon’s future north industrial growth and employment area.

The North Sector Plan will create a vision to facilitate economic development opportunities by expanding the north industrial growth and employment area. In the future, the area will generate new employment possibilities; accommodate fully-serviced industrial, commercial, and business park developments; and potentially include provision for new recreation facilities.

McOrmond Dog Park will be closed for the day on Friday, March 27, to allow construction crews working on the upcoming Brighton neighbourhood access to the site. The Park will re-open on Saturday, March 28.

Spring is officially here and with that, the City of Saskatoon’s winter road maintenance season is coming to a close. Crews worked 24/7 sanding, salting, grading, plowing and removing snow from streets to keep drivers moving. Crews will continue to respond if it snows in the coming weeks.

The City of Saskatoon (City) reminds residents that the provincial ban on pruning elm trees will be in effect between April 1 and August 31, 2015.

The ban ensures that elm bark beetles, which transmit dutch elm disease (DED), are not attracted to the freshly pruned trees when these beetles are most active. Anyone wishing to prune elm trees during the ban must obtain a permit. Please call City of Saskatoon Parks Division at 306-975-3300 for information.
